Books about dating after losing a spouse

It's my job not only to teach them some new skills about dating, but to calm their fears.

I reassure them by saying that taking that first step is the hardest part.

But an affair is the relationship equivalent of pouring Roundup on fresh, green grass; it kills everything around it.

Exploring Your Readiness to Date Entering the Dating Scene Going on a Date Community Q&A The death of a spouse can be one of the most devastating life events one endures.

If you've been out of the dating pool for a long time, starting up again can be frightening.

But you'll be pleased to know that things have gotten a lot easier since you were going to high school dances and college bars.

When my ex told me (on New Year's Eve, of all times) that he "thought" he was in love with someone else, my first thought was, "Oh snap, there's not enough alcohol in the house for this crisis." My second thought was to fall apart; cry, wail and scream until he felt as bad as I did in that moment. Instead, take a breath and repeat after me: This will not define me. Close friends and family that you KNOW is different, but beyond your small circle, resist the urge unless you want to come out looking like the "soon-to-be evil ex". Any damage you do to the property in your home -- regardless of whether it's "yours" or "his" -- will have financial consequences for you later. I'm not saying you have to schedule a mani/pedi day with her; I'm saying take the high road and tell yourself that the real reason your happily-ever-after didn't happen isn't just her -- it's him. Your story -- the new one you're living -- has the chance for another happy ending.

The danger in this is that -- by doing it -- you make yourself look really, really bad. Oh, sure, it's all fun and games until you "accidentally" shatter the front to his commemorative window box with a football signed by what's-his-name. Your kids are the audience to this mess; they have front row tickets to the show and you don't want to give them any more fodder for their future therapists than you have to, so keep it between you and your ex until you absolutely must tell them what's going on. Sorry, but a backhanded explanation of, "Sorry honey, daddy isn't here now because he's hanging out with his new friend with the fake breasts and letting mommy hold the bag of all our broken dreams" isn't going to win you any points in the long run. The kids don't understand what's going on, and even if they do, there are no winners and the ante will always go up until it gets really nasty and you're explaining to the judge why you bribed Cirque du Soleil performers to come to your five-year-old's birthday "bash". Unfortunately, though, it DID happen, and you focusing your energy on slamming doors in her face when she shows up with him to pick up the kids is not going to make anything better. This is a chance for you to start again (scary as that might seem).
